[gentoo-amd64] System freezes when dragging programs

2008-11-14 Thread Tonko Mulder
Hello list,

I have the weird problem that when I want to move a program around the
screen the system kind of freezes.
The only thing that works (if you can call it working) is my mouse
which remains in the move-things-around-state and it can move around
the screen but that's it, no clicking no dragging.

The *lock key stop working and gkrellm graphs stop.

Has anybody seen this before? And if you did, did you solve it?

I have already initiated the build again after I modified the USE flags to
the defaults that came with the installation cd. Here's the dfaults:
==
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=-O2 -pipe
# WARNING: Changing your CHOST is not something that should be done lightly.
# Please consult http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml before
changing.
CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
# These are the USE flags that were used in addition to what is provided by
the
# profile used for building.
USE=mmx sse sse2

I am still waiting to see the results. When the error occured I was using
the following make.conf:

==
CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}

CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

MAKEOPT=-j2

I should have kept a back up of the build.log but if anyone needs it, I can
do emerge again, and send you the file, as I have this strong feeling that
the build I am doing now will fail as well.
Thank you all.

First, please kill the HTML.  There's enough old fogies like me that 
don't like it, on most Linux related lists at least, that it's really not 
a good idea.  We have a choice as to whether to reply or not, and some of 
the guys that have been around the longest and therefore tend to have the 
most wisdom to apply to a problem, may not reply to HTML posts at all -- 
or even see them in some cases, if they filter them out, as I do for 
regular mail.  Do you really want to potentially kill the single reply 
that might have otherwise been the only one with a working fix?

Anyway, back to your question.  See that -m32?  That's telling the new 
gcc it just built while bootstrapping itself and is there testing, to 
compile the test in 32-bit mode.  It (I think) builds the 64-bit stuff 
first, and is then failing on the 32-bit stuff.  IOW, it's an issue 
related to the 32-bit aspect of the compile for both 64-bit and 32-bit 
support, that you get when you are running a multilib profile.

Personally, since I don't do the proprietaryware that's the biggest 
reason to do 32-bit compatibility in the first place, and all the 
freedomware I run has long since been 64-bit, I didn't have any reason to 
stay with multilib.  And, since it gave me headaches like this every so 
often, and even when it was working, both gcc and glibc, which are both 
already fairly long merges, took effectively double the time to build 
because they were being built for both 64-bit and 32-bit, I had lots of 
reason NOT to stay with multilib.

So I switched to the no-multilib profile and simplified my life with 
faster and more trouble-free gcc and glibc compiles, and have been VERY 
happy I did so.

Of course if you're still held captive by some proprietaryware or other 
that's only available in 32-bit, that's not going to be an option for you.

There are several possible triggers for this problem.  The first one is a 
broken 32-bit sandbox.  For that, try turning it off and remerging 
sandbox.  If it works, you should then be able to remerge gcc without 
issue and remerge sandbox normally.

FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox

If that doesn't work, one thing that has been a problem in the past but 
one would hope doesn't apply any more, is if you had eselect-compiler and 
gcc-config-2.0 merged at some point.  If you did, there's a bug on it you 
should look at.  If you didn't, this one doesn't apply.

There are various other possibilities due to various broken configs and 
etc relating to the 32-bit side of the multilib toolchain.  Often the 
simplest solution to these is to remerge a known working usually older 
gcc, hopefully overwriting whatever's wrong with your current setup, 
after which you can normally rebuild the newer gcc using the working old 
one, and be back on track.  

If you've been running FEATURES=buildpkg for some time, you may have 
several older versions of gcc in your binary package archive and can just 
remerge one of them, temporarily downgrading gcc to fix the problem, then 
use it to merge a current gcc.  This of course is one of the benefits of 
running with that feature enabled.

If you have NOT been running with FEATURES=buildpkg enabled, you have a 
choice.  If you have another working gentoo/amd64 machine available, you 
can quickpkg it's gcc, copy it over and emerge -K it onto the affected 
machine.  Otherwise you'll have to choose between trusting a version 
someone else may offer you and grabbing one off the latest gentoo/amd64 
install stages.  This would involve downloading a stage tarball, 
untarring it somewhere temporary, chrooting into it, doing a quickpkg of 
the gcc therein, then from outside the chroot, doing an emerge -K of the 
binpkg built by the quickpkg.

When you get your system working correctly again (but before you go back 
to your system/world rebuild), you may wish to consider 
FEATURES=buildpkg.  If you turn it on, you can then do your system/world 
rebuild and will have binpkgs of everything, available if you need them.  
After awhile, you'll have a couple older versions of most packages as 
well, in case you need to revert to an older one for some reason.  It's a 
quite handy thing to have available, and can sure save a lot of needless 
recompiling at times, even if you /don't/ ever use it to get out of 
another hole like a busted gcc.

Spacewise, a full FEATURES=buildpkg system and world set, with what I 
have merged here, runs about a gig, but you'll want at least 2 gigs 
available for binpkgs and preferably 4 gigs or so, so you don't have to 
clean out old

 issue and remerge sandbox normally.

 FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox

 If that doesn't work, one thing that has been a problem in the past but
 one would hope doesn't apply any more, is if you had eselect-compiler and
 gcc-config-2.0 merged at some point.  If you did, there's a bug on it you
 should look at.  If you didn't, this one doesn't apply.

 There are various other possibilities due to various broken configs and
 etc relating to the 32-bit side of the multilib toolchain.  Often the
 simplest solution to these is to remerge a known working usually older
 gcc, hopefully overwriting whatever's wrong with your current setup,
 after which you can normally rebuild the newer gcc using the working old
 one, and be back on track.

 If you've been running FEATURES=buildpkg for some time, you may have
 several older versions of gcc in your binary package archive and can just
 remerge one of them, temporarily downgrading gcc to fix the problem, then
 use it to merge a current gcc.  This of course is

I don't know what you mean by swap file bus. The only noexec I have is
on /dev/shm. I jam still waiting for gcc to finish building, no
problems so far, but again, issue may occur any time. Here's my fstab.

 First of all, I apologies for the HTML formatting. On my fedora, I use

 Since My system is being UPGRADED to gentoo, I am stuck with the web

 Back again to my problem, I have modified my make.conf to this one:

 And trying the emerge again. I will report the results. I am not stuck
 with any 32 bit properiatory softwares, but you never know, I may need
 it. I will keep the option of getting rid of the 32 bit as the last
 option.

 Thank you.

 First, please kill the HTML.  There's enough old fogies like me that
 don't like it, on most Linux related lists at least, that it's really not
 a good idea.  We have a choice as to whether to reply or not, and some of
 the guys that have been around the longest and therefore tend to have the
 most wisdom to apply to a problem, may not reply to HTML posts at all --
 or even see them in some cases, if they filter them out, as I do for
 regular mail.  Do you really want to potentially kill the single reply
 that might have otherwise been the only one with a working fix?

 Anyway, back to your question.  See that -m32?  That's telling the new
 gcc it just built while bootstrapping itself and is there testing, to
 compile the test in 32-bit mode.  It (I think) builds the 64-bit stuff
 first, and is then failing on the 32-bit stuff.  IOW, it's an issue
 related to the 32-bit aspect of the compile for both 64-bit and 32-bit
 support, that you get when you are running a multilib profile.

 Personally, since I don't do the proprietaryware that's the biggest
 reason to do 32-bit compatibility in the first place, and all the
 freedomware I run has long since been 64-bit, I didn't have any reason to
 stay with multilib.  And, since it gave me headaches like this every so
 often, and even when it was working, both gcc and glibc, which are both
 already fairly long merges, took effectively double the time to build
 because they were being built for both 64-bit and 32-bit, I had lots of
 reason NOT to stay with multilib.

 So I switched to the no-multilib profile and simplified my life with
 faster and more trouble-free gcc and glibc compiles, and have been VERY
 happy I did so.

 Of course if you're still held captive by some proprietaryware or other
 that's only available in 32-bit, that's not going to be an option for you.

 There are several possible triggers for this problem.  The first one is a
 broken 32-bit sandbox.  For that, try turning it off and remerging
 sandbox.  If it works, you should then be able to remerge gcc

I just enabled IA32_EMULATION and recompiling my kernel. I downloaded
the latest kernel form kernel instead of the one that comes with
gentoo. I will report the results.
Just out of curiosity, how did you know that IA32_EMULATION is not
enabled? Which message told you this ?

He probably just suspected. Kernel's inability to run 32-bit code could 
be one of the reasons why the test code run failed.

Other reason might be some linking error or somesuch...

I am emerging gcc again. I will see how things will go. In the mean
while I am looking into disabling multilib and remove it. I just don't
know how, and googling a bit while the emerge process is running.

 the ability to compile other stuff tells that you're having problems
 with the multilib profile. i suspect that you're working on a
 no-multilib profile, instead.
 try a ls -l /etc | grep profile and see where the actual profile is poiting.

I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear on this.  If you change the feature 
in make.conf, you'd use your normal features only change sandbox to 
-sandbox.

What I was suggesting there was to go on the command line (not 
make.conf).  You set FEATURES to -sandbox for just a single command, 
which is emerge sandbox.

So combining that with the ccache suggestion, now for both gcc and 
sandbox, it would be this (after setting the FEATURES line in make.conf 
back to normal):

First command:

FEATURES=-ccache -sandbox emerge sandbox

Second command:

FEATURES=-ccache -sandbox emerge gcc

If you are lucky, after those two commands, you should be back to normal 
and can remerge gcc without anything funny in either make.conf or on the 
command line.
